700-2700MHz 4G Full band IPEX/Welding Connector FPC Antenna

Product Introduction

1. Optimized for the 2.4GHz ISM Band: Precisely covers the globally universal unlicensed frequency band of 2400-2500MHz, perfectly matching mainstream wireless communication protocols such as WiFi 802.11b/g/n/ax and Bluetooth, ensuring broad compatibility and stability of device connectivity.

2. Ultra-thin Flexible Strip Design: Utilizes a slender 30x8.5mm flexible strip PCB structure, extremely thin, allowing for easy bending and fitting into confined spaces or curved surfaces within devices, providing crucial support for the ultra-compact design of modern consumer electronics.

3. High-Efficiency, Low-Loss Signal Transmission: Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) ≤1.5, indicating excellent matching between the antenna and RF front-end, maximizing signal transmission efficiency, reducing energy reflection, and effectively improving wireless connection stability and communication range.

4. Dual-Interface Integration Solution: Offers both industry-standard IPEX connector interfaces (facilitating cable connections) and direct soldering options, providing highly flexible integration choices for different manufacturing processes, assembly procedures, and cost budgets.

5. High Power Tolerance and Reliability: Supports a maximum input power of up to 20W, far exceeding the transmission requirements of conventional WiFi/Bluetooth devices, ensuring high-power applications or providing design margins. The flexible material is robust and durable, adaptable to various installation environments.

FAQ

Q: Does this antenna support 5GHz WiFi?

A: No. The GLFPC055 is a single-band antenna specifically designed and optimized for the 2.4GHz band (2400-2500MHz). For dual-band (2.4GHz/5GHz) antennas, please refer to our other product lines. 

Q: How to choose between IPEX connections and direct soldering?

A: IPEX connections facilitate assembly, testing, and subsequent maintenance, making them a common choice for mass production. Direct soldering provides a more permanent and reliable physical connection, while saving space and cost, making it suitable for designs with extremely high reliability requirements or extremely limited space.

Q: What are some important considerations for PCB layout?

A: The most critical factor is the clearance area. Sufficient "copper-free" area must be reserved below the antenna radiator (on the PCB's ground plane) and around it, strictly following design requirements, and avoiding nearby metal components or batteries that could obstruct the view, otherwise, antenna performance will be severely affected.

Q: Is 3dBi gain sufficient for WiFi applications?

A: Absolutely sufficient. For this type of small omnidirectional antenna, 3dBi is a typical and practical gain value, achieving a good balance between communication distance, coverage, and physical size, meeting the signal coverage needs of most indoor and short-range wireless devices.

Q: What is the antenna's directivity? 

A: It is an omnidirectional antenna with a uniform 360-degree radiation pattern in the horizontal plane. This means the device maintains good signal transmission and reception capabilities in any orientation, making it ideal for mobile or oriented products.

Q6: What is its operating temperature range?

A: The standard commercial-grade FPC antenna typically operates from -20°C to +70°C. If you have more extreme application requirements (such as industrial or automotive grade), please specify this when selecting a model.
